"The whole experience was very smooth, efficient, friendly, and professional. Mary and Tammy were super helpful in helping me find the right pile and density of carpet for our great room, as their showroom has so many styles of carpet and flooring to choose from. Installers were extremely careful in moving furniture and efficient in removing the old carpet & pad, as well as installing the new. I was also appreciative at receiving the Home Show discount. This is the third time I have worked with Mary, and each time has been a perfect experience. Highly recommend!"

"3 rooms of carpet purchased and installed. it was supposed to be all the same carpet. A piece was damaged and replaced with "the same carpet just a different weight" and the different piece was supposed to be in the smallest bedroom out of sight. What my 73 year old mother received is what is noticeably different, in the main bedroom and 3 seams noticeably different with a walkin closet in the Master bedroom a noticeably different piece of carpet. The replacement piece was NOT in the smallest bedroom as promised. At the store looking at the swatches, my mother could tell the difference, i couldn't. She wanted her money back. I couldn't tell. The salesman said it was the same. I heard the manager on the phone "what's her problem, it's the same". I thought she was wrong and talked her into it. 2 lessons 1: trust your mothers old eyes 2: Gettysburg Wholesale-Carpet saleman and manager are FOS."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Austin, IN

Carpet rolls come in standard widths of 12 and 15 feet. Less commonly, you might find a roll 13.5 feet wide. There are no standard roll lengths, but they’ll have enough to cover almost any home.

You’ll need equal amounts of carpet padding and carpet. Carpet padding costs $200 to $500 for the average room. However, the padding is trimmed a couple of inches away from the wall on all sides to make room for tack strips. Most residential installs have padding, and professionals include this in their bids.

Often, the best carpet for basements doesn’t include a pad. You’ll find this mainly in humid areas or places with a high-water table.

One linear foot of carpet or other material is simply one foot measured in a straight line. You typically aren’t going to measure carpet this way. It’s quoted in square feet or square yards.

There are nine square feet in one square yard of carpet.

The amount of carpet you need to cover two rooms varies depending on the room size and configuration. Measure the floor space. Multiply width times length. Do this for both rooms and add the numbers together.

You’ll need between 80 and 110 square feet for 13 stairs. For unique stairwells, you might need more.

Measure indoor/outdoor carpet like you would any other area, taking the width times the length. For patios, make sure to add a couple extra inches to wrap around the edges. Indoor-outdoor carpets cost an average of $3.50 per square foot.

You’ll need enough carpet to cover the entire area of damage to avoid seams. For example, if you have a 4-inch tear in the middle of a hallway, you’ll want enough carpet to stretch from door to door or the next available seam. Depending on the type of carpet you have, you might be able to get a professional to do an invisible seam repair.

One square foot of carpet is one foot long by one foot wide.
